Hoofed mammals
include many families of large, well-known animals. In the second volume of HMW
they are revealed in all their fascinating detail, in riveting accounts written
by some of the most renowned authorities in the world. The species accounts
supply complete and up-to-date information at a time when new and increasingly
sophisticated methods of DNA analysis are reshaping our knowledge of these
species; to give just one example, the family Bovidae has almost doubled its
size in the last five years, to the 279 distinct species known today.
